Chocolate Chunk Latte Cookies

Okay I have made about 12 batches of these cookies to make sure the texture is perfect. If you’ve ever had a Cookie Time cookie put in the microwave for 30 seconds then think of that!!

This tastes like a latte flavored Cookie Time. These are golden and crunchy on the outside with a fudgey inside that is oozing dark chocolate chunks. Incredible.

Chocolate Chunk Latte Cookies

Makes: Approximately 18

1/3 cup strong instant coffee

2 tablespoons boiling hot water

1 cup / 227 grams extremely softened butter (temperature should be warm not piping hot)

1 1/4 cups packed soft brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 eggs

3 cups plain white flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch salt

1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 355 degrees F / 180 degrees C fan bake. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

2. In a small bowl or measuring cup mix water & coffee. Make sure the coffee has dissolved.

3. In a large bowl mix the butter, coffee liquid, sugar, and vanilla essence using a spatula or wooden spoon.

4. Mix eggs into your butter mixture. It should be a smooth texture and don’t worry if the mixture looks split.

5. Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Give the dry ingredients a little stir on top first. Using the same spatula or wooden spoon fully mix the dry and wet ingredients until completely combined.

6. Using a cookie scoop, portion your dough onto your baking trays. Place in the oven for 10 - 12 minutes (depends on your oven). Because you are making two trays make sure you take any hot spots in your oven into consideration!

7. Let cool on trays for 10 minutes. Move to cooling rack!

Extremely tasty with a cup of coffee….ironic.
